This is odd. I suspect that the problem might be in Qt. However, you
should check to see that X11 is doing this correctly. In a Konsole,
execute:
xev
and then put the mouse cursor in the little window that opens. Now when
you type, it will report the X events in the Konsole window. I tried it
and it reports the key pad key events with the "KP_" prefix. If this
works on yours, then it is probably a Qt bug.
